Millennium Fair

Songs
01 Tune-up Prelude in D major (Improvisation) - Shepherd
02 Let Us Break Bread Together - trad.
03 Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence - trad.
04 Be Thou My Vision - trad.
05 Let Thy Blood in Mercy Poured - trad.
06 Yesterday - Lennon/McCartney
07 Vaghe bellezze et bionde treccie d’oro (Prelude) - anon.  A lute piece from the Italian Renaissance.  The title loosely translates to “O vague, blonde beauties with golden braids”
08 Danza - anon.  Another lute piece from the Italian Renaissance 
09 Gagliarda - anon.  Another renaissance lute piece which is also a lovey dance in 3/4 time.  Usually paired with a pavane to balance it out and make a little suite.
10 Se io m’accorgo - anon.  Another Renaissance tune whose full title is actually “Se io m'accorgo ben mio d'un altro amante” loosely translates to “If I am well aware of another lover.”  The tune uses a lot of imitative dialogue in the B section which is sometimes purely matched in style and sometimes in disagreement like the title seems to suggest.
11 Salterello - anon.  A lively Italian dance originally from Tuscany.  
12 Millennium Fair - Yasunori Mitsuda.  This song was written for a Super Nintendo game called “Chrono Trigger” in 1995.  I thought it appropriate since it shared the folklike, early music character of the previous renaissance tracks.
